What Struck Me About Prague

Friends, in October 2024, I gave a lecture to the students at Charles University in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. My hosts arranged a marvelous tour of the city, and I was struck by its overwhelming beauty—a beauty so clearly connected to Catholicism and its faith in transcendent reality.

Very beautiful city of a strong Christian witness, resisting and overcoming tyranny despite suffering under Russian oppression, as Ukraine is under right now.

Bishop Barron has converted only God knows how many people through his ministry (including myself) as well as strengthened the faith of many. May God continue to work his wonders through this good shepherd!

I am a Filipino and was interested in Czech culture because of the friendship of Jose Rizal and Ferdinand Blumentritt. It made me wonder what kind of world that side of the planet is like, what the culture is like, what people left behind.

In my faith as a Catholic, I think I would love to visit there one day. I heard it is a secular country now, but like Bishop Barron says; there is faith in those that seek the true and beautiful. I believe that goes for Czechia.

My Grandmother emigrated to the USA from Prague in the early 1900's and was a proud Bohemian. It kind of hurts to see such a beautiful city filled with such beautiful religious art knowing that the residents are mostly atheists. God bless you. Bishop Barron.

I only pray that all of us can go out into the world and speak of God through the language of beauty our ancestors once wielded.

A well-traveled Msr Ronald Hoppee told me Prague was the most beautiful city in The world. Vive Christus Rex.

Ezhikiel 34 reminds us that Corrupt Authority, as Shepherds, scatter the Sheep of Israel; until the House of David rescues the Flock.

Prague is such a beautiful place. God will restore the faith in Prague one day and it would be a great city like Jerusalem
